Upgrading cams... Got a few questions...
ok the motor is a JDM sir1 b16a...
With a big tube tri-y header
Skunk2 intake manifold
Omni 68mm TB
Skunk2 cam gears
full Greddy (not sure of model) 2.5'' exhaust.
Going to be upgrading from stock valvetrain to skunk2 pro 2's...
I know that your able to use the K series retainers and reuse the keepers, and thats my plan...
1) I have JG dual spings which I recived with the sale of the car BNIB... I have read many bad things about JG... Does this just go for his motors or all his parts???
2) Will the K series retainers work well with the JG springs or do they only work on certain dual springs???
3) Is there a how to out there for changing the valve springs and retainers with the head on using compressed air to hold the valves or a hanger threw the spark plug hole...
4) I know tuning will get more power out of my set up but, is tuning absoultely neccicary???
5) Is there anything else that I need???
Thanks guys...

Re: Upgrading cams... Got a few questions...
If you've heard JG has bad parts you should probably get something with a better reputation.
And yes, tuning is absolutely necessary. You can probably also sell that skunk2 IM if you would like to. It's not worth it's weight in salt.
